Hi Klaus,



I hate the AA filter and I dream a camera without filter... <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I'm going to purchase a Pentax K5 and I am very sorry to hear that the AA filter is (maybe) strong...



But why Pentax wanted to put a strong filter in a sensor with smaller pixel??

I can understand that a 6Mpix camera is prone to moirè, but a 16MPix camera? Which lens, which f/number, which situation can generate moirè?



Anyway, for example, in this image, I definitely prefer retouch the little moirè instead of use a complex technique of unsharpening

I am also very curious to know how your K5 modified is in term of autofocus, focus at infinite and IR cutting



I don't care if the filter generates a colour shift, because I make myself profiles for camera raw, but if the IR are not filtered, a profile can not correct the shift



Which is the "company" that has removed the filter for you?

maxmax?



I've sent them a mail but they did not reply.....



Thanks

Alberto
